Pork Sausage Meatballs

Categories Easy Recipes, Main Course

My family loves these pork sausage meatballs! They are easy to make and taste so delicious! It love to serve them with a sage cream sauce and sautéed kale over egg noodles but they are great on their own as well as with marinara sauce or any sauce of choice. They are also great on a sandwich or however you love to eat your meatballs.

My kids love these! I usually just serve them the plain meatball without any sauce and they chow down on them. As a mom any food I can get my kids to chow down on is a winner at my house.

These meatballs also will make your house smell like Thanksgiving. My 10 year old asked me why it smells like thanksgiving the last time I made these and I realized that it really does. I love it and she loved it! Makes you feel like you are at a family feast from the smell floating through the air.

Here they are with sage cream sauce on top, click picture for that recipe.

These meatballs are also pretty quick to make and realistically can be done in about 40 minutes, prep to service. So they are a perfect weeknight dinner option.
